Wake up Alabama

Blogger Comments: The rumors circling around the MCSO is that the story below is alive and well in the Morgan County Sheriffs Office among a few low life employees. Sheriff Franklin knows about the incidents but she has done nothing to deter the incidents from occurring.

No Alabama law specifically bars cops from having sex with people in their custody: Report

In Alabama, there is no law on the books barring police from having sex with people they arrest. (Stock image)

That's according to a new report by BuzzFeed News, which found that Alabama was one of 35 states that have not specifically outlawed cops from engaging in sexual activity with people in police custody.

Meanwhile, any sex between Alabama correctional officers and inmates is considered felony sexual misconduct, according to state Department of Corrections policy.

"It shall be unlawful for any employee to engage in sexual conduct with a person who is in the custody of the Department of Corrections, the Department of

Youth Services, a sheriff, a county, or a municipality," DOC policy states.

The BuzzFeed story focuses on the story of a Brooklyn 18-year-old named Anna, who alleges that NYPD officers handcuffed her and took turns raping her in the back of a moving van on Sept. 15, 2017.

The cops are no longer on the force and they have both been charged with rape, but Anna's case shines a light on the power differential between police officers and the people in their custody, which provides fertile ground for abuse.

Terra Burns, an Alaska-based anti-sexual assault advocate, told BuzzFeed News that it is essential that states pass laws aimed at closing the loophole that allows police officers to have sex with people they arrest without risking major criminal charges.

"Cultural shifts happen, but what we need to see is a policy shift," said. "There's a long entrenched history of institutionalized rape culture that has to change."

I've been reading this blog for a long time and I have noticed that when the whistleblower blogs about certain people that the comments seriously bash the whistleblower. Is that because she hits a never with those who are in the sheriffs circle? I don't know Rick Sherman but do you really believe he is a bad person because he spoke to the whistleblower about the things going on in the sheriff's office? Are you one of those that committed crimes for the sheriff? Are you complacent with the sheriff's actions? Do you really believe the sheriff has done nothing wrong?

If Rick Sherman is a "bad" person, well you better call 75% of the sheriff's office "bad" people. So many of them know what shes done to them, friends, or family and have had to keep their mouths shut, or be confidential as long as she is there to save their jobs. Hopefully they will not to keep on for much longer. They need their jobs, they have families to feed.

I've not seen anyone call Rick Sherman, just the he is a attention seeker. His 15 min of fame is almost over, as he fades away. It's killing him wanting to be important, make everyone believe the FBI needs him. O wait, also wanting everyone to think all the Sheriffs Candidates needs his endorsement. Poor sad individual.

"I've not seen anyone call Rick Sherman"??? What in the hell does that mean? Why is your animosity towards Rick and not Ana and Goons? What did he do to you personally or maybe did he put your butt in jail? All he did, with many, many, many others was tell the truth to bring all this to light. Thank you Rick and All Others.

Wrong! Alabama Code 14-11-31 makes it "unlawful for any employee to engage in sexual conduct with a person who is in the custody of the Department of Corrections, the Department of Youth Services, a sheriff, a county, or a municipality" this includes a person detained for any reason and a person on probation or parole. It makes this sexual conduct a felony.

Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen at MCSO. it does with male and female jailers. Sorry but it's the truth and it's been witnessed but if u say anything about someone that is the "in" crowd they find a way to terminate you, so the motto is if u don't see anything you can't say anything so the witness leaves the area and anything they may see.

Rick is a pretty good guy as far as I know. He couldn't say anything because he would have gotten fired but now she can't do anything about it. I knew Anna before she was ever a cop and she would go to the strip club and get high and part all night. One of her daughter's is just like her. I know alot about both and have done things with both but never when they were together.
